This is a 2 hour '16-18’ lesson that investigates river discharge and it’s relationships to channel characteristics, stream flow and hydraulic radius, for A-Level and IB Diploma students. While it is purposely not A-Level exam board specific the geography is universal and can be easily tailored. The lesson is the first in a unit on freshwater and rivers.
Key Aim:
Define stream / river discharge and examine its relationship to:
Stream flow
Channel characteristics
Hydraulic radius
Ease of use is the aim, the lesson includes a compact presentation with labeled, organised, handouts with printing instructions and is of course, proof read. If there are any issues with the files or if links are broken I’m happy to help.
To protect my work on TES I have zipped the worksheets together, however I hope you have an indication of what they look like in the preview files. When you download they are easily unzippable on Windows or Mac.
Happy teaching!
